Growing Oregon Sugar Pod II in the Vegetable Garden

Plant Oregon Sugar Pod II seeds 0.5-1 inch deep. Sow directly in well-prepared soil when temperatures reach 40 F. Space seeds 6-9 inches apart, with rows 12-24 inches apart. Provide trellis support early to help manage the vigorous vines.

Keep soil consistently moist and apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Companion planting with carrots or radishes can help deter pests and improve soil health.

Harvesting Oregon Sugar Pod II

Harvest pods when they are full, crisp, and bright green, usually about 60 days after planting. Frequent harvesting encourages continued pod production and maintains sweetness.

Stories From Our Gardeners

"The Oregon Sugar Pod II pea is a favorite among gardeners and cooks alike for its impressive sweetness and tender, edible pods that burst with fresh flavor. This heirloom variety produces long, flat, and crisp pods that are perfect for snacking straight from the vine or adding a delightful crunch to salads and stir-fries. Easy to grow, the Oregon Sugar Pod II thrives in cool climates and is well-suited for early spring planting, making it a reliable choice for those eager to enjoy fresh peas after a long winter. The plants climb vigorously, requiring support, and reward gardeners with abundant harvests over several weeks. What makes this variety particularly special is its natural resistance to powdery mildew and other common pea diseases, which means fewer worries about crop loss and a healthier, more robust plant. Gardeners appreciate its consistent performance and sweet, buttery flavor that’s far superior to many store-bought alternatives. When harvested young, the pods are tender and crisp; waiting too long can cause them to become tough, so timing is crucial for enjoying their peak texture. Whether eaten raw, lightly steamed, or tossed into favorite recipes, Oregon Sugar Pod II peas bring a fresh, vibrant taste of the garden to the table and are a delightful way to celebrate the joys of homegrown produce."
